Public Health and Nutrition Economics: the numbers behind prevention?

At a time when national health systems are under great financial pressure and greater investment is warranted in prevention of ill health, only about 3% of current EU health expenditure is allocated to public health and prevention programmes.

This workshop, organised by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, will focus on identifying non communicable disease prevention areas (with a focus on, but not limited to, nutrition) where investment can have high and fast return.
